strikingly rich but subdued. Roses pre-
dominated, not less than 10000 having
been utilized. A floor has been laid
throughout the house level with the stage
and beautifully carpeted. The stage had
been arranged to represent the reception
ball OF a modern mansion, though the
walls were nearly hidden in profusion of
ferns and palms. simultaneously with
the President and wife entering from the
side of the stage and taking their stand
under n massive candelier in the centre
OF the stage the line of people two abreast
advanced toward them headed by Gen. A.
h Terry and wife. The orchestra broke
into a melody. The group of ladies &C
cOmpanying Mrs. Cleveland clustered
about her with their escorts and under the
soft light, shed over all, she with her hus-
band greeted couple after couple with a
pleasant word and smile with a hearty
shake of the hand. Brilliant toilets were
in line, as beautiful as they were costly,
and many of them, but they were the ex-
ceptiOn not the rule.
Not over three-ftths of the gentlemen
wore the regulation clawhammer, the coats
of the remainer being Prince Albert. The
President was IN full dress.
MRS. CLEVELAND LOOKED QUEENLY
in losely fitting reception gown of dark
mstletoe-green plush, cut moderately
low and quantity trimmed at the
neck and on the short sleeves
with ancient lace. In her hair shone
diamond brooch Of exquisite workman
ship. A necklace Of diamonds sparkled
at her throat, while around her waist
hung a girdle of old gold heavy cord
and tassel. 1t seemed she would
never tire of welcoming the peo-
pie who glided by her, proceed
in z to the balcony or homeward rejoicing
and the President was no less gracious. A
more notable picture it would be hard to
find than that of the thrice happy pair as
they stood tonight the centre OF admira-
tion at the Columbia.
1t had been announced that the recep-
ton would close at II. The President
and Mrs. Cleveland looked at the line of
anxious faces and fingered past the hour
five minutes. Ten minutes went by, but
the crowd seemed unending. Reluctantly
both then turned away. From 1000 to
3, 900 people who waited an hour were dis
appointed 1t was not wanting much Of
midnight when the place was cleared

HELLO, BULLETi
Telephoning for n Bullet In Mans
Body.


New YORK, October 5.-A successful
experiment WAS made yesterday at Belle
vue Hospital with telephone probe for
the location of bullets. A man named
Schroeder, who received bullet wound
in his body, couple of nights ago, while
attempting burglary was the subject.
A small steel plate was placed on the
mans leg, to one end of this was attached
an insulated wire connected with tele-
phone receiver, which in turn was connect
ed with another wire at the end Of which
was a probing needle. This needle was
inserted in the wound and an electric
current established. The needle was push
ed in through the wound until a slight
clicking sound heard by the operating sur
geon who held the receiver at his ear aud
notified him that the current had been
broken by the needle touching the nullet
sought for. Further probing showed that
the bullet had been Correctly located in
Sehroder's liver. The probe used yezter-
day is an improvement on that Of Prof.
Bell with which II was sought TO locate
the bullet in President Garfield's BODY,
but which failed because, as Prot. Bell eI-
planned, it was too crudely constructed.

THE EVENING RECEPTION
rendered President and Mrs. Cleveland ut
the Columbia Theatre.

CHICAGO, October 5.-Simplicity and
lack of ostentation were the distinguish
ing characteristics of the reception to the
President and Mrs Cleveland this evening,
at the Columbia Theatre, where only those
were admitted who had been invited be.
fsre hand BY the committee Of citizens
charged with that duty. Pen thousand
tickets had been issued, each admitting
one man and his complement Of
ladies. The vicinity Of the theatre was
iammed with curious spectators, who eyed
closely the occupants of tho carriages
rolling up to the main entrance of the
theatre. No one had been admitted be-
fore the advent of the Presidential party,
and people who came in carriages as well
as those who came otherwise, were obliged
to wait in lines stretching a block on the
sidewalk in either direction from the
theatre. Within was scene of
rare loyeliness. Barring liberal display
of the stars and stripes, the decorations
were wholly composed Of natural
flowers and foliage and the effect was

THE President probably refreshed his
memory in regard to Chicago's history
from the American Cyelopedia, and We
may expect to see Editor DANA boil over
into q parallel column again. But for
goodness sake, why did the editor Of the
New York San take part in editing the
Cyclopedia If he did not want any body
to Use il. Why didn't he feed it to his
office cat. it it were such a piece OF useless
work, along with his bad editorials? He
adyertises it rs Invaluable to the editor,
lawyer, statesman etc, etc, etc, and
then raises Old Ned" when any one
agrees with him. But, speaking OF adver-
tising, pcshaps this is q scheme Of Mr..
DASA'> to bring his wares before the
public.

ARRAIGNED AGAINST MALONE.
Features OF the Campaign In virginia-or
ganiklng Democratic Negro Clubs.

Features Of the Campaign In yirginla-Or-
ganitlng Democratic Negro Clubs.
WASHINGTON, October 4.-The Virginia
Democrats are making preparations for q
vigorous campaign against Malone. Their
defeat last fall in the Congressional cleo
tion left tuem in pretty demoralized con-
dition. They regained most of the lost
ground at the local elections this spring,
however, and the party is said to be IN eH-
cellent condition for Il hard fight Many
outside speakers of prominence have been
invited to take part in the campaign. Mr..
Randall has promised to make number
of speeches in the State. The indications
are that the campaign will be one of the
liyeliest known in, the State for years.
Malone is making prodigious efforts to re.
gain his supremacy, and he is said 10 be
receiving assistance from the protectionists
in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Said prom
inent Virginian tonight:
"Mahone is making a stubborn fight,
and the Democrats must not make the
mistake of understanding his strength.
He is shrewd, thoroughly inscriptions
and has large campaign fund to draw
upon. Defeat this year means political
death TO him. He cannot live without
power. He has conducted all his cam
paigns on such selfish principle that
there is scarcely man Of prominence in
Virginia who would regret his defeat. The
Republicans are more divided this year
than for some time. A remarkable feature
Of the canvass is the organization Of several
Democratic clubs among the negroes.
Malone has treated the negroes with very
little consideration, and they are begin
ming to find out that they have nothing to
gain from his success. The Administra-
tion figures very little in the campaign
The fight is against Malone and his
methods. The respectable element Of all
parties and factors seems TO be arrayed
against Malone"

WHAT time he had in Chicago yester-
dav ID the police regulations had not
heen excellent it is ten to one this great
country would now have no President.
In fact, Chicago turned itself loose on the
President aud his lovely lady, and nearly
overwhelmed them. Though wildly dem
onstratiye and even boisteTous, the multi
tude was respectful and seemed possessed
,f but one desire, namely, that of showing
the love and honor with which they re-
Yard the Chief Magistrate. The Presi-
dent speech was n happy one, and enthu-
siastically received. 1t may be said that
Chicago has successfully riyaled st. Louis
IN her reception to the distinguished
couple.
The reception to the public in the after
noon at the Palmer House was an unParal-
Ieled affair. Our dispatches tell US that
one hundred thousand people with cheers
that made the brass bands look like
'dumbies" going through the motions OF
ulsving, rushed like wild beasts on the
President to shake his good right hand.
The police and military were oyerpowered.
Ms, CLEVELAND was hastily placed in a
niche m the corridor for pro-
lection. hut the sturdy Presi.
dent plunged in amongst the
mass TO his appointed post like the sturdy
Democrat ne Is, and shook the hands of
5000 people IN iifly-at the rate Of forty
seven minute. An old Union veteran
presented a tattered battle flag to Mrs.
CLEVELAND, asking her to clip and retain
one of its honored shreds rs mementO.
She hid 50, and there was a renewal of the
unparalleled enthusiasm. 1t was reported
during the day that Mrs. CLEVELAND had
tainted from the press, but the report was
later on denied.

Bond Redemption.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 5.-The
total amount Of bonds offered to the Gov
eminent to-day was 81, IA, 200, Of which
81, ,657, 100 were At per cents and So, 100
were 4 per cents, making the total to date
$12, ,079, $50. The increased offerings to-
day encourage the Treasury officials to the
belief that the balance of the S14, 900, 600
required for the sinking fund will be OBJ
tained within the next two days
Among the communications received by
Secretary Fairchild to-day was one from a
person whose name is withheld, offering
TO sell $500, 900 United States bonds to the
Government at ITO and threatening to
sue the Secretary for damages to that
amount in case his offer ia not accepted.
No notice was taken Of the letter, as il
was evidently the product Of crank.
